The Six Dimensions
of Purpose
The Six Dimensions of Purpose shape the six areas of your life that matter most.
They are rooted in the fabric of your life.
In fact, they are so deeply embedded in your day-to-day activities that you might not see them for what they are — your long-term directions in life.
They represent your particular needs, interests, and desires that you pursue year after year, decade after decade.
They are the reason you get out of bed in the morning. They are your adventures and challenges. They are your hopes and dreams. They are the reason your life is worth living.
Getting them right allows your life to unfold in ways that are meaningful and align with your true self. They are the ultimate concerns that shape your life.
Your purpose in life exists in these Six Dimensions.
Already present and available.
Right here, right now.
